Sometimes the schooners stood in along the coast." Wyllard nodded. "Dunton of the Cypress got your message," he said. "He was in difficulties then, but he afterwards sent it me."

"A Husky?" repeated Wyllard, who knew the seaman meant an Esquimau. "That's what Dunton called him, but I guess he must have been a Kamtchadale or a Koriak.

"Poor old Dunton!" said John Grange to himself; "we shall miss him when he's gone." "Hang him!" muttered Barnett, "that's it.
